Anne-Marie's home is a very old village house in a quiet location near the centre of St-Colombe, which is a sleepy place in lovely countryside not far from interesting and historic places such as Puivert, Montsegur and Mirepoix. Anne-Marie herself was a teacher, now an artist specialising in intricate geometric papercuts, some of which decorate the house. Downstairs there's one big kitchen/living room where Anne-Marie also makes her creations, with a shady garden at the back where you can eat out. The large double room upstairs has a comfy bed, uneven floorboards of great antiquity, and a real feeling of age. There's a shared bathroom but that's not an issue as the only other person to use it is Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie gave us a warm welcome, kindly let us use her facilities to put a cold supper together from supplies we'd brought with us, chatted with us, and laid on a lovely breakfast in the morning. Our one-night stay was excellent value, very relaxing and we really felt at home chez Anne-Marie. We'd have happily stayed longer but were only passing through on the way from the western Pyrenees to the Med coast. Highly recommended for value, character and a welcoming host!

After all this you can return to your apartment, relax with a glass of the local wine and listen to the tinkle of the sheep bells as the herds head for home off their hillside pastures

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for a friends wedding in nearby Chalabre, gorgeous apartment very nicely furnished and very comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better host in Mike, on hand when needed and very kind in giving us a lift back to Chalabre post wedding to collect our car. The nearby lake Lac de Montbel is picturesque, wish we'd bought our swimming gear! Would love to return sometime, thank you!

Le Balcon is a fabulous, spacious and comfortable apartment in a small, quiet and picturesque village. Mike was a very friendly host, giving us a good welcome , tips and suggestions for local area and restaurants. The apartment is a great base for exploring the Cathare castles, the forested hills and beautiful swimming lake nearby... and it's wonderful just to sit on the large balcony and relax! I definitely recommend highly. Thank you Mike.

Our characterful holiday home is a quaint village house in the heart of the pretty village of Leran. It has been lovingly renovated and is ideal for couples and for couples with children (take care with small children due to lots of stairs.) It is set over three floors with a kitchen diner and WC on ground floor, cosy lounge on the first floor and large bedroom with ensuite shower room on the second floor with a double bed and a daybed which can be either a single or pulled out into a double.

The house has been sympathetically renovated carefully retaining as much of the quirk architecture as possible. It is just one bedroom but is surprisingly spacious with its three floors. The French doors in the kitchen diner open straight out onto the heart of the village and there is even a little space to sit out and enjoy a glass or two!

Leran is a wonderful, traditional French village. It is fairly sleepy but hosts several events throughout the year such as a music festival, annual village fete not to mention the fabulous gourmet market every Friday in July and August – an absolute must if you are lucky enough to be here when its on. The street is lined with stalls selling everything from bread, cheese and meats to l'escargot, chinese and paella! You can even select your meat and have it cooked on the BBQ then find a seat at the tables lining the street and enjoy with your chosen wine. The evening goes on until late with live bands playing. It really is a fabulous, fun night out when the whole village gets together and visitors pour in from miles around.
There is a shop in the village which is open from 8am until 12pm every day except Monday. The shop sells bread, cakes, pastries everyday and meat, fish and fruit and veg on different days through the week. It is a community shop which is visited by the trades people on different days. Very convenient for your breakfast croissants!
Many walks can be found around the village, one we particularly enjoy is down by the river past the wonderful Chateau, you meander down the path and then carry on over the farm land. There are many more to enjoy so set out and explore!
Le Rendezvous, the bar/restaurant (which is just down the road from the house) is excellent for lunch or dinner. With an extremely reasonable menu du jour and a great selection of ales. It is a very friendly place where everyone gets together to enjoy a meal or just a drink and a chat. There is often events on too, just make sure you book a table if there is an event on as it does get very busy.
A couple of minutes drive from the house you will find a beautiful Lac Montbel. This really is a favourite of ours (particularly our 4 year old!) It has lovely, beaches for sun bathing and the water is clean with areas marked out for safe swimming. There is also water sports, fishing and a restaurant. We have spent many a lazy summer afternoon there with a picnic enjoying the sun.
Further afield there is the wonderful town of Mirepoix just 15 minute drive away. A medieval town built around the Place de Couverts which in turn has the 14th century Maison de Consuls as its main attraction. With its ancient arcades surrounding its market square, the beautiful, colourful buildings frame the square where the market takes place every Monday and is a must see. The cathedral is also definitely worth a look.
Other towns which are favourites of ours are Limoux, in the Aude department, famous for its carnival. Camon, with a beautiful Abbey and Chalabre where you'll see the 12th century Chateau.
We also have to mention Carcassonne, only a 40-45 min drive away, the old Cite must be seen to be believed! It is truly magnificent and like something out of a fairytale – an absolute must!
Our guests will find information on all of the places mentioned here and more in the folder we have put together at the house.

We spent a week in Léran, a small and quiet village which lives up on Friday evening when there's a public market with local specialities and live music. The house itself is situated on the corner of two small streets and seems small from the outside but inside we found all we needed and had plenty of space for ourselves and our two 7-year olds. From Léran, we made daytrips to all interesting sites in the surroundings (Carcasonne, Mirepoix, Foix, ...). The communication with Kate went smoothly and we got clear and accurate information from her.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. A car is a must to get about. Leran is a lovely friendly village walking distance from a big lake. Outdoor activities like horse riding are a must. Also local taxis are really reliable. The house is clean, spacious and a nice living space. Kate is very responsive and helpful.

This beautiful little log cabin is surrounded by forests and pastures. If you are looking for a quiet place in the countryside, this is where you should come!

This eco-friendly construction was built following traditional scandinavian and east-european designs. It is situated on a 7000 sq. m fenced plot of land in a quiet valley. This is the perfect place to rest and relax in.

Amazing place! We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw it. It is for sure best airbnb home I've ever stayed. Super clean, has completely equipped kitchen and bathroom, amazing smell of wood and nature around. We could see all stars at night. Raquel is super sweet person. We will come again;)

We are Laury & Joe (French & American couple). We are restoring this beautiful house situated in the center of a charming, traditional French village. Nearby are spectacular views of the Pyrenees, trails for biking, walking & hiking, a lake for swimming, sailing or canoeing. An equestrian center is minutes away as well as countless historical castles and museums, surrounded by the beautiful wine country of the Languedoc. Come enjoy this natural beauty of the South of France in our home.

Our property - in this beautiful part of Cathar country - is actually 2 houses with their own outdoor terrace, perfect for "al fresco dining". The part we live in is a Maison de Maitre (referred to as Number 10) where you will NOT be staying, but you may walk through it to get in to the Bridge House where you will stay. We have also provided a separate private entrance to the Bridge House from the small alley at the rear. Joe and Laury are currently still renovating Number 10 which provides the main entrance to both houses and faces the main market square of Chalabre.
One takes the main staircase through Number 10 to access the next house which is where you will stay. We call this one the Bridge House because there is a covered bridge which crosses over a small inner court yard which separates the two houses. This is a 14th century house which has just been renovated.
Attached to that is actually the former part ruin of yet another house with its original stone facade still standing so it serves as a private terrace, shared by you and by us at Number 10.
There is a shared staircase to access the Bridge House. Once inside it has two levels. There is no lift/elevator.
In the Bridge House there is a wonderful, fully equipped kitchen with enough space to eat-in for 4-5 people and a big living room area upstairs with a table that can seat up to 10 if both table leaves are used. There are two double bedrooms also upstairs with a spiral staircase to a small open mezzanine which has a single mattress (open to the living room below - so not suitable for someone needing to go to sleep early). There is another loft (with no banister) on the other side with a single bed, accessed by a very steep ladder. Recommended only for a single person - and only those who are old enough and responsible enough to be aware not to fall off the unprotected ledge of the loft.
There is a shared bathroom with a shower in the upstairs area, which can be used by any sleeping in the two bedrooms or mezzanine.
Downstairs, the Romantic bedroom is off the kitchen and connects to the Romantic bathroom which has a luxurious claw foot tub with instant hot water. This is a large en-suite room.
There is an additional 3rd bathroom with shower by the entrance to the Bridge house which can also be used (its use is however to be shared with anyone staying in the main house).

Traversing Chalabre is a Voie Verte (an old railway line converted for hiking/biking/horseback riding) which stretches from Mirepoix to Lavelanet. We are one of the rest points on the St Jacques de Compostelle trail. Lake Montbel is nearby with its closest access point only 4 km from us (10 minutes by car, 20 minutes by bike and 40 minutes walking) and offers swimming, canoeing and sailing. Another great swimming hole just 7 km away is a smaller lake overlooked by the Cathar Castle of Puivert. The Languedoc wine region stretches west towards the Mediterranean and is a must for wine lovers. For skiing in the winter and biking in the summer, the Pyrenees are within an hour's drive with a stunning view from Chalabre. Andorra is only 90 minutes away by car.
Here in Chalabre one can find biking tours, wine tours, and just outside town there is an equestrian centre. Touring the area by car one travels through charming little villages with festivals, fairs, markets, museums, car boot sales, historical castles and chateaux - Cathar or otherwise.
Closest towns: Mirepoix to the north west, Limoux to the east, Lavelanet and Foix to the south west. See the links listed above for more details.
Chalabre has a bakery (closed on Wednesdays all day in winter and half-day in summer), two butchers-charcuteries (closed on Mondays), three very small grocery stores, one bureau-tabac/newstand store, two cafes (both of which serve tasty lunchtime meals), one hotel with a good restaurant, an excellent pharmacy where one can also buy luxury toiletries, a flower shop and a hairdressing salon.

We loved our stay at Laury and Joe's in Chalabre - it's a beautifully restored and decorated house right in the middle of the town, with a well-stocked kitchen, free standing bath and a terrace, which all help to make it feel a home away from home. Laury was a really welcoming host; interested in us, helpful and accommodating but also respectful of our privacy. We were supposed to be traveling with a toddler and it's not the most child-friendly house as there are quite a few steps and parts of the renovation are ongoing. Otherwise, it's a perfect place to stay as a couple or with friends.

Abigail2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

Laury & Joe are creative, friendly and super helpful . They catered for our every need in an amazing renovation of a beautiful vintage building . I couldn't recommend it more .

James2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

We spent a week here and had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful with a peaceful ambience and we felt very much at home. The kitchen was our favourite part of the house-it's a great space for cooking and socialising. There is also a wonderful outdoor terrace with a barbecue. Chalabre is a lovely village and is a great location to get into the surrounding hills and countryside. We would certainly recommend the house as a place to stay and to explore this beautiful part of France.

They lent us a couple of bicicles and we spent all the day off, without taking the car :)) Nick is a great cheff how likes to chat after dinner and make sure everything is perfect ;) Good people. I would really repeat or recomend it to anyone!! --------------------------------------------------------- Estábamos buscando un lugar tranquilo para pasar un par de días lejos de la prisa diaria... Y lo encontramos! Carolyn y Nick son personas muy interesantes y enérgicas. Su "maison blue" es una pasada! En la plaza de la iglesia de un pequeño pueblo de Francia.

Realmente me repetiría o lo recomendaría a cualquiera!!

A delightful b&b on a beautiful little square. Carolyn and her husband made us very welcome and were very helpful with taxi bookings and local information. We enjoyed breakfast in the sunny square each morning with home made and local produce.

What a beautiful location and house! Tiny square next to a church in a quintessential French village. Our double bedroom and our daughters room were large and furnished tastefully with antiques. The bathroom was lovely with a shower and roll top bath, and everything you might need but have forgotten to bring ! We decided to eat out and were directed to Mirepoix which was an amazing small market town, fantastic old buildings and square with lovely shops it had a festival on ,definitely worth a visit. Carolyn and Nick were extremely friendly and welcoming and we will definitely be back for a longer visit soon.

We were looking for a relaxing place and we certainly enjoyed the 2 days we spent in Chezmaisonbleue. Beautiful house, lovely food. Great hosts, always trying to make you feel at home, with plenty of information and ideas to explore the area. Thanks Carolyn and Nick!

There are miles of quiet country roads around us, a perfect way to explore the area is by bike. We can arrange bike hire for you so they are here for when you arrive or you can just hire them yourselves for an afternoon. (URL HIDDEN) If you are here in July, you can catch Le Tour coming through. During the hot summer months, a dip in cool waters is the only ‘must’ on the daily agenda. There are two swimming lakes within in a fifteen minute drive, plus several others further afield. We also have the River Hers which flows at the bottom the village - the water, which has flowed straight from the mountains, is crystal clear and freezing - perfect!
